Abstract
This chapter discusses the collapse of the Palestinian Great Revolt in 1939. It focuses on the civil war that wracked the Arab community of Palestine in 1938–39, including the Husayni-Nashashibi and other rivalries, the anti-rebel "peace bands," and the British implication in both. It also details the intensive British military effort to crush the rebel court system and to expel or exterminate the various rebel leaders. The chapter goes on to analyze the St. James Conference and the British effort to give a democratic cast to what was, in fact, a planned reversal on the Balfour Declaration. Finally, the chapter explores the consequences of that reversal for Arabs, Britons, and Jews in Palestine.
